What If You Were Given 3 Wishes?

"If you got 3 wishes, what would you wish for?"

What If You Were Given 3 Wishes?

Everyone's had the dream of wanting an magical moment oh having all of their dreams come true. Like a magical Aladdin story of finding a genie or some Disney shit like that. A few of my friends and I had a discussion recently about dreams and desires. But let's be real here, everyone has their own dreams and desires, whether we could accomplish them or not is entirely up to how big the stakes are. However, that's not what the real discussion was about. The real question amongst my friends and I was, "If a Genie granted you 3 Wishes, what would you wish for?"

Obviously this wasn't an easy question, everyone has their own opinions and their own desires. As the majority of the group discussion involved men, you could already assume most of their wishes. From having bigger dicks to being able to get make things right with an ex they missed. I thought their wishes were kinda bland or expected to be honest. From the obvious offense, they asked me what wishes I would make... And I honestly thought about this question for quite a long time, so I was instantly prepped for this answer.

My First Wish:

So this was a Wish I've always wanted to do. In the span of my life I've always wanted to fix many mistakes in my life in which the consequences I'm still receiving the backlash and whiplash from, and I've always wanted to relive many of the best moments of my life. So my first wish is to be able to go forward and backwards in time without any consequences to my original timeline and I could always stay and come back without any backlash. That means I going to a beta timeline where I could fix any of the problems I've desperately wanted to fix and see how the future holds for that, and being able to go back to my original timeline whenever I want without any paradox or bad timeline consequence. Or being able to relive the best moments in my life and alter little things about it (i.e: Let's say I wanted to go back to the day I performed for my Poetry Outloud Competition at school, I could relive the moment of my performance or even alter how I perform and see if I could have gotten a better result than what I gotten before) or just enjoy the moment again.

My Second Wish:

This wish was a wish that I've contemplated a lot more and had put a lot into thought, than the first. Whenever I used to see genie based episodes in cartoons and movies, I've noticed every cartoon/movie protagonist had the flaw of using up all the wishes without much full-on thought. "Aladdin" did it, "Family Guy" did it, one show that gave me much of a better idea was "The Fairly Oddparents." There was a genie episode in which Mr. Crocker got access to a genie named Norm, and in the process he kept asking for 3 more wishes at his last wish, as a kid I thought that was fairly smart (ha get it? Because it's from the Fairly Oddparents, so "fairly" smart? Okay I get it I'm corny). But now as a 21 year old, I still question how the hell that idea is a tricky one if forgetful on how many chances you got left. Especially if you're a forgetful dumbass like me. So I thought of a better loophole, as my second wish is to be able to wish for anything I want so long as I think for it in my mind without any bad consequences and could be a reversed back to normal if wanted to. This means, that whatever I wish for in my mind could come true. So for example, I could be thinking "Man I wish I won the lottery" or "I wish I had superpowers" and that would exactly happen. The benefits is that I could wish for anything, and even have the wish be reversed back to normal if I so pleased. The negative is that it renders the genie useless. So I will have a third wish without a need for, because I can already grant my own wishes telepathically, this leads to my final wishes.

My Third Wish:

So… Yeah, the second wish kinda removed the need for the third wish, I thought I'd be more generous with my wish. So I thought it'd be cool if I give my mother or my best friend Robert (brother for life) my third wish. I believe if I can have a opportunity like that I'd definitely like to be generous and give that opportunity to someone else as well. I know this sounds very non-chalant but hey not every wish has to be big or amazing.

Those are my wishes, I know they sound weird and nonchalant but hey everyone has their own opinions and desires. So what about you? If a genie granted you 3 wishes, what would they be?

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
